We went for a bottomless brunch and this review was going to be a 2 star one, until Damien (the manager) step in to take over the event. It was my girlfriends birthday and for the first 30 mins of the drunk she didn't get a drink because the barmaid kept bringing her the wrong drink and then saying we had too many drinks already on the table. This is when Damien stepped in because we asked for the manager and he was amazing, at one point we had 4 drinks each because he was bringing them so fast, he then gave us shots (that weren't supposed to be included) and brought us a extra 2 pizzas.
Two of my party went out for a smoke and I talked to a lady who was stood at the table next to me and the bar staff cleaned my drink. I was told that despite my drink being full, that I should’ve had a better eye on my drink. Highly disrespectful staff and do not recommend unless you want to pay for two drinks. Spoke to your staff and they were all very unhelpful. Even though my party had around 12 people around my table I was told they cannot get me a new drink even though they cleared my half an Aperol spritz and two pints of Camden Hells that were both over half a pint. Disgusting service and would absolutely not go back. Unless you want to be robbed!
It's a nice place is this. I didn't have food but it looked nice and the aroma was appetising. The bar feels very modern, with all the arty stuff people like. Comfortable furnishings and atmosphere. Toilets are miles away, but there's plenty of old architecture to look at on the way (if you've not had too many lagers) Service was a bit impersonal for me, though the staff were nice enough. Great place...not exactly my type of venue, but it does it's job and is a great fixture on the Wakefield circuit.
It's a decent venue for a party. They do nice pizzas. It was a shame a few beers were off even though they knew they had a party coming. The bouncers can be so miserable and rude for no reason.
On arrival the girls behind the bar took no heed of us and carried on there conversation. Got served and sat down, went to the toilet and no toilet roll at all. Went out and told the girls and they replied we cannot go into the toilets to do it. This was 1 pm mind so what had the cleaner done or not done. Empty boxes at the side of the bar and a bin full and I mean full of empty bottles in the bar. Very poor 😢. One good thing it was warm in there. Never again
